According to two IFL videos today he is serious about coming back for a third Groves fight, if Groves wants it, at 175lb.

What's wrong with the guy? He can't have spent all his money, so is he really that desperate for the limelight that he would come back after 5yrs out?

Aside from the fact that with that inactivity, Groves pancakes him if they do fight again.

I don't think so! He's a bitter crotch.

I'll watch him slap around George again. One of the only true warriors at the top level of the last couple decades.

Think it’s more limelight than monies - he invested in property/restaurant and built house for himself so don’t think it’s money side. He got paid 10m plus for 2nd fight at Wembley.

One thing it did highlight though for a Sky commentator to have such little knowledge of the sport - he knows very little outside small uk band of fighters.

I seen in interview months back how Eddie said Froch phones him before every show for opinions.

Then yesterday he was asking who Haney was...his record....age....what weight do you fight at etc.

I’ve have Andy Lee/Andy Clarke any day ahead of Froch commentating.

I also think Groves would knock Froch out if they fought at the end of the year. Groves will have been out for 12 months, Froch 5 years. That's obscene.

Even allowing the 5 years - Froch is an athlete - Groves body is done - Shoulder/Punch resistance is not there - too many wars.

Reckons he has been on the fone to kessler for froch/kessler 3 aswell. He said he has 6 good rounds in him.

Dont think he liked groves saying he retired froch in front of 80,000 people hahaha

Despite the fact i really dislike Froch,he would beat Groves again i think.

I think he's as serious as Lewis was with his comeback claims about 2-3 years after he retired.

If the money is right, he'll fight Groves. .... chances of the money being right - slim to none.

If they fight again Barry Hearn and Eddie will make sure its ppv and we will pay for it.

No he wouldn't. He's 5 years retired and if Groves came back today, he's still an active fighter really who's been fighting at elite level. 5 years is a long time not boxing to step in to the ring with a pretty much active elite fighter. Froch isn't an early 30s Sugar Ray Leonard

It is a clear wind up right?

Froch was a machine when he was fighting, incredibly, obsessively dedicated to his fitness but five years of inactivity (even if he has been ‘keeping fit’) would have taken their toll.

Wouldn't have thought he'd want to risk damaging his new nose.

Nah that was Eddie just trying to out him on the spot.

He even called Froch on his ' I remember the day when I boxed in front of 80,000 people'

Not sure who the cocky young kid is, but he said 'look at your face, you wanna keep it that way'

Wasn’t that Devan Haney?

Yeah I think you're right. A confident Light weight indeed.

Froch is a major egomaniac. He is clearly really struggling with not being the centre of attention anymore. It's eating him up inside and it's visible in his facial expressions.

That ego is also stopping him doing his homework for his job. It's not an 'honour' to have you as a pundit, you have to feckin know your sh!t for god sake!


Fury wouldn't get caught out with boxing knowledge I tell ya.

Carl is basically just a full-time troll at this point

He does seem a bit lost since retirement. Maybe some dementia as well.

Think he's shown time and again , a lot of what he says is a tongue in cheek wind up

He must be pissing himself. You lot bite every single time.

I'm starting to really like him.

Having just watched the interview it was a clear wind up and quite amusing.
